John studied Marine Biology and Oceanography at the University of Plymouth (United Kingdom) (2011 – 2015). During his time in Plymouth, he completed a one-year internship as a research assistant at Plymouth Marine Laboratory, where he developed a keen interest in ocean colour remote sensing and its applications for biological oceanography. Between 2015 and 2021, …
ESA, together with PML and support from NASA, is organising an Ocean Carbon From Space Workshop, to be held virtually from 14 to 18 February 2022. This workshop is being organised as the second workshop in the CLEO (Colour and Light in the ocean from Earth Observations) Series and is a contribution to the Committee …
Living Planet Fellowship research project carried out by Romy Schlögel. Within this project we intend to analyse ground deformation hazards induced by meteorological changes and seismotectonic conditions in eastern Belgium, western Germany and the south-eastern Netherlands. Thus, its outcomes should also be of interest for the ongoing Interreg project Einstein Telescope EMR Site & Technology (E-TEST). Focus …
“I want to express my gratitude to the LFP programme and my managers in particular. The kind support I have received during these 24 months has been fundamental to the success of PYROPLANKTON in a particularly complex period at home regarding the work-family balance. I also strongly appreciate the programme’s genuine interest in supporting fundamental …
Penelope is a data scientist at the Geological Survey of Denmark and Greenland (GEUS) with a background in Glaciology. She graduated from Lancaster University with a first-class bachelor degree in Physical Geography in 2012, before undertaking an MSc (by research) examining geothermal controls on ice flow at a glacier in Iceland. Following this, she pursued …
A special collection of papers examining the physical, biogeochemical and ecosystem changes related to permafrost thaw and the associated impacts has been recently featured on the Nature Reviews Earth & Environment journal. One of the papers in the collection, describing how scientists from Europe and the US are working together to better track permafrost carbon …
Over the last decades, greenhouse gases and aerosol concentrations have been increasing in the atmosphere, disrupting the balance in the Earth system between incoming and outgoing radiation fluxes. Part of the outgoing longwave radiation being blocked, the system has reemitted less energy towards space than it has received from the Sun. This imbalance at the …
Reflectance of the Earth surface is one of the natural major components affecting climate. Surface interaction with incoming solar radiation and the atmosphere has a substantial impact on the Earth’s energy budget. Moreover, the accurate description of the surface reflection is crucial for different atmospheric studies including aerosol and trace gases characterization. One of …
Operational retrievals of trace gas column amounts assume (near) cloud free conditions. However, the large pixel size of the satellite instruments (for example the TROPOspheric Monitoring Instrument on Sentinel 5P, TROPOMI-S5P, is 5.5 km by 3.5 km at nadir) imply that pixels may be contaminated by sub-pixel sized cloud(s). Furthermore, clouds in neighbour pixels may …
An internal research fellow opportunity is currently open for applicants who have recently completed, or are close to completing a PhD in physics, engineering or Earth system science with research experience and publication records. The applicant may select his/her preferred theme between: Ocean science Activities will focus on exploiting the latest advances in EO satellite …
